whereas some of us would find any woman who didn’t exhibit at least a little bit of that drive to be quite boring.</p>
<p>I’ve dated fat girls, thin girls, pretty girls, not-quite-so-pretty girls, athletes, academics… but the common thread has been that they’re all smart, they all have a wit that can keep up with mine, and there’s something about them that I find inspiring - something to live up to and learn from. “Oh wow you’re pretty, at least for the next 5 years or so, and do modeling” is hardly inspiring. It’s a checkbox approach to dating - “yup, you’re hot enough, hop on board!”</p>
<p>I live in New York because I never want to be bored. I choose a challenging career path because I never want to be bored. I HATE being bored, it’s much worse than being stressed. Likewise, I date driven women because I never want to be bored.</p>
<p>I’m far from alone in that.</p>
